I’ve got some big news:
Actress Madison Lintz, renowned for her ten-year run on Bosch, has officially signed on to star in and executive produce Eve Ronin, the television adaptation of #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg’s widely-acclaimed series of crime novels from Thomas & Mercer/Amazon Publishing.
This project marks a pivotal moment in Lintz’s career as she steps into the leading role on screen while also taking on a key position behind the camera. Her experience portraying police officer Maddie Bosch on the Amazon Prime TV series Bosch and Bosch: Legacy uniquely positions her for this new challenge.
“I am beyond thrilled to bring Eve Ronin to life,” Lintz says. “From the moment I picked up Lee’s books, I knew this was a character and a story I needed to be a part of. Eve’s determination, complexity, and resilience make her a dream role, and I am honored to take on this challenge on both sides of the camera.”
The Eve Ronin series follows the youngest homicide detective in the history of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Known for her tenacity and grit, Ronin tackles high-stakes cases while battling institutional resistance and her own personal demons. There have been five books in the highly-acclaimed series to date, selling over one million copies. Fallen Star, the sixth book in the series, came out in October…and the seventh, Split Screen, will be published in fall 2026.
“Madison is the embodiment of Eve Ronin,” Goldberg says. “She brings both the raw intensity and vulnerability that define the character. Her passion for the project, coupled with her talent, ensures that the series will stay true to the heart of the books while taking Eve’s story in bold new directions.”
In addition to Lintz, the executive producing team includes showrunner Gabriel Garza (The Flash, The Winchesters), industry veterans Craig Dorfman, SAG Award-winning actress Lorraine Toussaint (Orange Is the New Black, Selma, The Equalizer), as well as Derek Dudley and Shelby Stone of ID8 Multimedia, known for their critically acclaimed work on Showtime’s long-running, hit series The Chi and Goldberg (Mystery 101, Monk, Diagnosis Murder), who is presently a co-executive producer on You’re Killing Me, the new Brooke Shields mystery series for AMC/Acorn.
“Lee’s books have earned widespread critical praise and a dedicated fanbase of over two million readers,” says Shelby Stone. “Madison’s work over the years on Bosch has been extraordinary, combining heart-felt vulnerability and relentless determination. We believe that combining these two talents will make Eve Ronin a book-to-TV adaptation in the same league as Will Trent, Reacher, and Slow Horses.”
When I listen to the audiobooks based on my novels, it’s surprisingly easy for me to forget that I wrote them and I get caught up in the characters and story… even though I know what’s coming. The audiobooks arrive usually a year after I’ve finished the novel, so I have enough distance from the work encounter it fresh and to enjoy it. And it’s hard not to have a good time listening to Nicol and Eric.
